Sideshow: Biel to climb Mount Kilimanjaro
By Tirdad Derakhshani
Mount Kilimanjaro.
How many of us will ever stand at its peak?
Jessica Biel will.
Jess has joined with singer Lupe Fiasco, creator of the hot debut CD Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor, and Aussie thesp Isabel Lucas, on an expedition to climb Mt. K., which at 19,000 feet is the highest point in all of Africa.
The Summit on the Summit adventure, scheduled for January, was organized by singer-producer Kenna ("Say Goodbye to Love") to raise awareness of the need for clean water worldwide. Kenna says his dad suffered from waterborne diseases as a child in Ethiopia. Jess, 27, said she was "astonished" to learn that more than a billion people across the globe have no access to clean water. "This is a basic human necessity that needs to be addressed now," she said.
